[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 16489978, member: 8854"] It bolts in but does require a shim or washer to make sure the pulley lines up correctly. Both top and bottom bolt. I used a laser pulley alignment tool and tried various shims/washers till it fit perfect. I also have an aftermarket balancer and lower pulley which adds a little to the mix. It comes with an external regulator you have to mount some where too. It's pre-wired in and just needs to be bolted somewhere. I stuck it in the front driver's fender area. To me this external regulator is one of the greatest advantages of the Nations. Regulators are the most common thing to fail from heat on our alternators and they move it away from the engine and exhaust heat. It's also adjustable so if your battery is remote mounted in the trunk you can adjust it up or down to suit your application. It also does an amazing job of holding a steady voltage as I mentioned in a prior post. It has one wire that needs to be connected to the factory alternator harness plug. It's for the battery light on the dash. They expect you to splice the wire. I grabbed a plug I had laying around handy and installed on the Nations wire so it just plugs into the harness like stock. Thanks Malcolm [/QUOTE]
